I was running late this morning, trying to get off Rt 27 quickly and onto the sidestreet when I passed a cash drawer (empty) on the side of the road. After a couple seconds thinking, I stopped, turned back and confirmed my initial impression. So I got to pull out my cell phone to call 911, gave my location and find, and had my suspicion confirmed. There had been a robbery overnight. So SPD asks me to wait with it until they can get a cruiser there "what kind of car are you in?" "I'm on a bicycle" After a moments pause, perhaps to look at the thermometer (11F/-12C with gusting winds) she replied "We'll try to get there right away." An officer showed up within 5 minutes, got my info, said that he would wait until they came with the evidence bag. He also asked if I was warm enough, and laughed when I said I would be as soon as I started up MooseHill. I was only 5 minutes late to work. Unusual commute.
